Perfect logbook

Does everything I need it to and nothing that I don’t. Extremely easy to use and I love the query function. 10/10 worth every penny

Best light meter app!

I’ve tried them all. This app and its companion log book are the best solution for film photographers today. I’ve tested it repeatedly against my Sekonic and Minolta light meters and its amazingly accurate. No need to carry them with me any more!

Loving the app

This app (along with light meter) lets me enjoy film photography even more than I already did. It helps me slow down, log every shot and be very deliberate with the photos I’m taking. These 2 apps are a permanent companion to my photo walks and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

Grateful this exists

Really nice app! Highly recommend for people who shoot film.

Would be great to have some quicker interactions for changing exposure settings before logging a shot! I’m pretty sure the dev has said Apple Watch extension is in progress, but adding to the interactive widgets, or something using the Workouts API would also be wonderful.

Keep up the good work!

*USER BEWARE* Subscription Required.

The owner requires a minimum subscription of $4/mo or $13/year to even use the app.

Save your money and record everything the old fashioned way..pen/paper.

My bread and butter

Great app with thoughtful features. Giuseppe did not stop there.

As I encountered some crashes, I had to stop shotting film photos for a week as this app is the bread and butter in my workflows.
I talked to the app author got immediate response and my issue got fixed in mins.

Thank you!

Crash on launch

App is no longer usable as it crashes on launch v2.3.11

Also developer’s website domain expired so you can’t submit support

Definitiva

App molto ben realizzata e definitiva per chi scatta in analogico che, abbinata alla app Lightme, consente di tenere traccia di ogni singolo rullino, scatto, misurazione della luce con tempi e diaframmi e tutto quello che può servire, senza nulla escluso.. davvero eccezionale 👍

mah un giro di prova c’è lo potevi anche inserire

considerando che l’app esposimetro è piuttosto contorta sarebbe stato utile avere almeno versione di prova di questa logbook… sarebbe bastata anche una prova a tempo tipo una settimana o un paio di giorni …
capisco che tutti vorremmo prendere un caffè però :
se dovessimo mai incontrarci ti offro la colazione ma sopratutto provo, tento, di spiegare la differenza tra scrivere un app davanti a un computer e fotografare (in particolare in analogico)
Ci sono anche altre altre app con questi propositi ed opzioni ma come tutte, dopo un po’ non vengono aggiornate si perdono dati e sono contorte …
insomma nel 2023 basta l’app note integrata nell’iphone o un pezzetto di carta ed un lapis.

Records metadata to scans

This is the most complete package I’ve seen.

My needs: I wanted to track metadata (GPS, Camera/Lens, Date, Time, ISO, Shutter, Aperture) as I took pictures on my film cameras. Then after receiving scans, apply that metadata so my pictures play nicely in the Photos App.

I was so surprised to see this app does it all! This removes the need for me to fumble around with exifTools to accomplish this.

This developer is my hero. Well worth the $12 a year this costs.

Logbook

Just a fwiw fyi - I love the light me meter app. This app is a brilliant idea. But. This app is not free. Download and you cannot use it without paying. I’m not saying it should be free. But it should be affordable. And people should know the price upfront. And maybe 30 days to try it without having to pay.

Amazing addition

Fantastic app and easy to use

Perfect logbook

Very well-implemented app for logging details of shots and keeping track of what’s loaded where, when films were loaded/developed, what camera/lens/settings were used for each shot, everything you could possibly need.

My only issue is that I’m terrible at logging and remembering to record details as I’m taking photos so I end up completely out of sync with what I’ve got going on, but that’s definitely a failing on my end and nothing to do with this excellent app.

Great app

It’s well thought out for recording film info. It even has bellows compensation.

Good functionality but buggy and crashes

It’s usable and handy but occasionally it just straight up crashes on startup and I can’t use it at all. Sort of defeats the purpose of logging anything if I can’t log all of a roll.

Good idea, pretty buggy

The idea and integration with Lightme are great. Using it is different. Unable to assign apertures to shots / app is prone to suddenly crashing. Would be great if it worked.

Must have for film shooters

This app has everything I wanted in a film logging app. It has all the options you could need without having too many options, keeping it professional without being overwhelming.
I was skeptical to pay without trying at first, but do to limited options I took the chance and am happy I did.
